Analysis of documents on the census proves that it was the Zaporizhian elites, and not the Russian strongholds, that had a fundamental impact on the process of settlement of Zaporizhia in the 1740s and 1760s. Attempts to control the slobodas, situated near the strongholds, by the Russian administration and attempts to extend power to Zaporizhian subjects were not successful. Keywords: Zaporizhian Host; Southern Ukraine; sloboda; colonisation; confessional census; Russian strongholds INTRODUCTION The period of New Sich is significant for the history of Southern Ukraine. It is important that an active settlement of areas which belonged to the Zaporizhian * This article was prepared as part of a research project “Unification and Integration of Eu- ropean Frontier: Comparative Research of Imperial Incorporation Policies in Danubian and Pontic Regions (17th–19th centuries)”, financed by the Scholarship Programme of the Visegrad Fund (Viseg- rad Scholarship Program, for post-masters). 184 OLEKSANDR D. Sukhomlyn army took place exactly in the period of New Zaporizhian Sich. Amongst other things, it was due to this colonisation that the majority of still existing civic and village settlements in Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhia, partly Kherson, Kirovohrad, Donetsk Oblasts, and other oblasts of modern Ukraine – areas which belonged to Zaporizhia until 1775 – was formed. Significant breakthrough in the development of the Zaporizhian border com- munity and the entire Southern Ukraine took place in the period of the existence of New Sich. Owing to a number of circumstances in Zaporizhia, a class of owners (proprietors), opposed to the Cossack “proletariat” (siroma), was created. While for the siroma the most important was the imperative of “spoils” (mainly of war nature) and having a traditional Cossack lifestyle, the settled proprietors thought it was important to consolidate their own prosperity at the expense of development of agriculture and commerce in Zaporizhia. Due to the presence of rich natu- ral resources, intensive influx of people migrated from other regions of Ukraine to the lands of Zaporizhia, economic freedom and, as a consequence, patronage of Sich’s administration, the above-mentioned areas started to develop quickly. Significant role in the colonisation of Southern Ukraine was played by the last Koshovyy Otaman, Petro Kalnyshevs’kyy1 . In the period of New Sich, Zaporizhia came under the direct control of the Russian Empire, which was exercised from 1734 to the beginning of the 1750s, at first by a Kiev general-governor and then a hetman (until 1764) and the Second Collegium of Little Russia (1764–1775). At the local level, the direct imperial control over Zaporizhia was conducted by the system of fortifications erected in strategically located – from its perspective – places. The main aspiration of the Russian Empire in the 18th century was to gain access to the Black Sea. This goal was to be achieved by creating and using a mas- sive instrument – a fleet, and to be more precise, the Don and Dnieper flotilla, which had in fact been put into fruition even before the Russo-Turkish War in 1735–1739. For the purpose of supporting the fleet on both banks of the River Dnieper from the estuary of the Orel all the way to the island of Khortytsia, forti- fied stations were erected from 17352, which in the following years of war became a foundation for building barricades and redoubts. After a rather unexpected end of the war in the autumn of 1739, the majority of strongholds was liquidated by taking the garrisons away and removing the supplies. It took a few more years to move the military equipment to the Ukrainian Line and to liquidate useless 1 V.V.

The number of garrisons-strong- holds along the Lower Dnieper was diminished over time, and as of the 1750s and 1760s there were around 350 military men in Zaporizhia5 who created garri- sons in 3 strongholds: of New Sich (Novosichens’kyy retrenchment)6, Old Samara (Starosamars’kyy retrenchment)7 and Kamyanka (Kamyans’kyy retrenchment)8, as well as 4 redoubts (Kodatskyy9, Birkutskyy10, Sokil’s’kyy11 and Mykytyns’kyy, the latter is mentioned in the documents as Mykytynska zastava12). Due to the fact that the fortifications were initially erected to support and secure the Dnieper flotilla during the time of military activities (which, in accor- dance with the command’s plans, should have been ended with consolidation of the Russian Empire if not in Istanbul13 then at least along the Black Sea coast), their functioning in the post-war period was not anticipated in a long term. For this reason, the above-mentioned Russian fortifications became – in their nature – the imperial border observation forts oriented to the Crimean-Tatar direction. In real- ity, the function of the Russian strongholds as typical warehouses (in the event of a future Russo-Turkish war) was supplemented also with the function of having universal control of the Zaporizhia Host. The presence of the Russian military in the territory of Zaporizhia was not a sub- stantial military force not only because in the 1750s and 1760s it amounted only to 3 The Central State Historical Archive of Ukraine in Kyiv (hereinafter: CSHAUK), found 59, inventory 1, file 785, fol. 4–5, 84–84v. 4 CSHAUK, found 59, inv. 1, file 781, fol. 35v–36. 5 CSHAUK, found 755, inv. 1, file 3, fol. 61–62, 63–64, 67–68, 69–70, 71–72, 73–74, 76–77, 80–81. 6 The New Sich fortress – a Russian stronghold, was built by Russian Army near the New Sich (Central military camp of Zaporizhian Cossacks) in 1736.

At the beginning of the 1750s, the number of the Zaporizhia Host was equal to 27,000, without including peasant population (we take into consideration only men who were capable of fighting)15. The Russian strongholds, built in the Zaporizhian region in the times of war in 1735–1739, lost their necessary defensive status very quickly: cannons were laying on the ground without carriages16, it was possible to cross over on the horseback the land ramparts of the New Sich fortress (embankment and ditch), turn- pikes (wooden ramparts) were dismantled for firewood17. The command often made attempts to bring the fortresses to a proper defensive condition18, but due to the lack of resources no major repairs were carried out. Secondary importance of the strongholds in Zaporizhia in relation to those situated in the territories of the Cossack Hetmanate are confirmed by the words of an engineer, de Boscet, that the strongholds of Old Samara and New Sich were being repaired by the forces of garrisons which stationed there “as it used to be”19. The document does not mention any renovations in the redoubts. All of this engendered a situation in which in 1776, the General-Governor of the newly- -established Azov Governorate, Vasiliy Chertkov, notices that the Birkutskyy redoubt had revealed only 4 small-caliber cannons, some artillery shells, and that the earthen fortifications had long ceased to fulfil their role. The embankment and ditch were so damaged that they could not be seen20.

The prospective coal-bearing areas of Donbas in Ukraine have been identified. Their development will increase the energy security of Ukraine. It has been suggested that the development of these areas will involve mining the coal seams in a weak roof and floor environment, which are characterized by low compressive strength, lower density and a tendency to plastic deformations. The stability has been assessed of the rocks outcrop on the contour of mine roadways for mines operating in these areas. It has been determined that roof rocks in most of these mines belong to a range of groups from very unstable to moderately stable, and the bottom rocks are, in most cases, prone to swelling. This complicates the intensive prospective areas mining with the use of advanced technologies, as well as secondary support for retained goaf-side gateroads with limited yielding property. The mines have been determined, for which this issue is relevant when mining the seams with further increase in the depth. The mechanism of displacement in the secondary supports and has been exemplified and studied using the numerical method.

    1 “A Plague on Your Borders:” Disease Control and Administrative Reforms in Late Eighteenth-Century Ukraine Oksana Mykhed Devastated and unexplored, welcoming and opened to a stranger, – these were the characteristics a traveler would give to the land and people living in late eighteenth-century Ukraine. Danylo Samoilovych, a Ukrainian surgeon who advanced his medical career in the Russian Empire, left a similar impression of the region in his writings.1 Exhausted and ill after his prolonged service in the army battling in the Russo-Ottoman war, Samoilovych travelled from Moldavia to St. Petersburg in late spring – early summer of 1770. To reach the imperial capital, the physician crossed Polish and Russian-controlled territories in Ukraine right before a severe outbreak of bubonic plague in Kyiv that occurred in 1770–71. The outbreak that began in the Polish Ukraine, spread to Kyiv, and struck many towns and villages in Left-Bank Ukraine was the largest documented epidemic of the pestilence in the region in the eighteenth century. Samoilovych’s rare eye-witness traveler’s account confirmed that the Kyiv medical tragedy was both predictable and inevitable. The physician witnessed that the plague was already terrorizing small towns and villages in Right-Bank Ukraine several months before the catastrophe in Kyiv and was among the first medical observers who connected the tragedy to unregulated population movement and lack of special medical precautions organized by the governments in the two banks of Ukraine. 2 1 The work and life of Danylo Samoilovych [or Danila Samoilovich in some sources] did not attract much scholarly attention.

  • Warfare, State and Society on the Black Sea Steppe, 1500-1700
    Warfare, State and Society on the Black Sea Steppe, 1500–1700 In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries Muscovy waged a costly struggle against the Crimean Khanate, the Ottoman Empire, and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth for control of the fertile steppe above the Black Sea. This was a region of great strategic and economic importance – arguably the pivot of Eurasia at the time. Yet, this crucial period in Russia’s history has, up until now, been neglected by historians. Brian L. Davies’s study provides an essential insight into the emergence of Russia as a great power. The long campaign took a great toll upon Russia’s population, economy, and institutions, and repeatedly frustrated or redefi ned Russian military and diplo- matic projects in the West. The struggle was every bit as important as Russia’s wars in northern and central Europe for driving the Russian state-building process, forcing military reform and shaping Russia’s visions of Empire. Warfare, State and Society on the Black Sea Steppe, 1500–1700 examines the course of this struggle and explains how Russia’s ultimate prevalence resulted from new strategies of military colonization in addition to improvements in army command-and-control, logistics, and tactics.

    THE CONSTITUTION OF PYLYP ORLYK* MYKOLA VASYLENKO The decision reached by Hetman Mazepa along with certain high-ranking Ukrainian officers and Cossack-Zaporozhians in 1708 to ally themselves with the Swedish King, is one of the episodes of Ukrainian history that is neither clearly under­ stood nor thoroughly studied. Because conditions have been unfavorable, much of the background is still unknown and no research has been done. The most important documents are probably lost. Some may have been destroyed immediately by Hetman Mazepa himself as a quite understandable precau­ tion. His negotations with Poland and Sweden had evidently been carried on in utmost secrecy; at any moment they could have been detected by the Russian Government and have caus­ ed an official inquiry. Under such conditions no written doc­ uments that could serve as evidence would have been kept. Very important secret documents had been burnt by Piper, First Secretary of State of Charles XII, near Poltava on the eve of the day he gave himself up as a prisoner to the Rus­ sians.1 One may guess that among these papers were the doc­ uments referring to the negotiations between the Swedish Gov­ ernment and the Ukraine. Piper naturally did not want these documents to fall into the hands of the Russian gov­ ernment and thus reveal other more important plans and in­ tents, as well as disclose a wider circle of the officers who had participated in this plot. * This is a reprint from Uchenye Zapiski Instituta istorii RANHON, Moscow 1929, Vol. IV, pp. 153-171, and is printed as one in the series of translations of Ukrainian source material (cf.
